The point is these guys are already tearing it up after only a few short months together. Fusing post-melodic hardcore with Rock and Roll and some electronic influences. Think Refused, Radiohead, or And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead. Also, Philadelphian trio Dysrhythmia emits an energy unlike any other band you have seen. Forget about tradition, destroy your record collection, and hold your ears. DYSRHYTHMIA crafts music so bold and indefinable that they create their own genre, from full-on balls-out rock, to gentle,tight, atmospheric soundscapes that will lull you into their world while your hands are shaking trying to get out.

Give the Drummer Some welcomes back to the airwaves Prince Oliver Trager, author of the newly published -- and 15 years in the making -- "Dig Infinity," a biography of visionary verbalist Lord Buckley. Before Cool (b.c.) there was Lord Buckley: the hemp-headed ex-lumberjack who invoked both the manners of English aristocracy and the street language of Black America; the picaresque pill-popping darling of Al Capone; the jazz philosopher who jammed with Charlie Parker; the stand-up comic who could celebrate Jesus Christ and the Marquis de Sade in the course of a single gig. Tune in for three hours of ultra-rare home recordings and plenty of stories about this neglected American genius that will break your heart and make you wet your pants at the same time.

The Fever

DJ Rupture
Friday, September 20th, 2002, 2am - 6am
on Advanced D & D with Donna Summer
Yes, we just couldn't keep him away. He's been on Re:Mixology, and you've certainly heard the hype by now. That's right "the best DJ in the world" (according to the German magazine "De:Bug") sat in with Donna Summer on the wheels of steel a few weeks ago and laid down some awesome, awesome tracks including a handful of originals from his forthcoming albums! He plays some wild stuff, maybe a tad more experimental than his newest CD on Tigerbeat 6, "Minesweeper Suite", but there's certainly no lack of intense breaks seamlessly mixed with everything from R&B to dancehall to Japanese noise! You won't hear this one on CD or anywhere else, so tune in you rabid dogs!

The Pedal Steel Transmission
Monday, September 16th, 2002, 3pm - 6pm
on Irene Trudel's show
The Pedal Steel Transmission has been performing in the Chicago area for two years. Its blend of unexpected dynamics and distressed ambience has gathered a large local following. The band wears its influences on its chest, from the Velvet Underground to Can, to other more folk inspired artists as Japancakes or John Fahey, but with a vocal style all its own. The underlying current is still rock and roll, but the nature is improvisation. The band frequently performs amidst 8 and 16mm films that add to the group's fractured approach at songwriting.

Steinski
Friday, September 13th, 2002, 8pm - 9pm
on Re:Mixology with DJ Jesuspants
What can be said, Steinski is responsible for every kid who writes "Turntablist" on his or her IRS form each year. The Godfather of sampling, Steinski is bowed at from all coasts and nations; thanked by DJ Shadow, Coldcut, Peanut Butter Wolf and countless others for inspiration. We think Coke even went back to the old formula because of him. A made-for-WFMU special tonight.
